Re: Interfacing D to existing C++ code

So constructors and destructors are mangled 'a la D' instead of the C++ way. Please post this to bugzilla. The problems with constructors go beyond mangling, so the current forced D mangling is intentional to prevent wrong-code bugs. An approach that currently works is porting the code to D, being careful to exactly match the layout and functionality. When done right, this allows templated types to be constructed with any type in either language and passed back and forth without problems. This is what I've done for dmd's ArrayT in ddmd. I've done the same for some matrix ctor of opencv: it's a pain but works... The main problem I've found right now it's that sometime I'm forced to choose a struct in D mapping a class in C++ just to have the right mangling for const ref methods...

It would be nice to have a side-by-side comparison with http://msgpack.org/ which is in current use by a couple existing D projects, include D Completion Daemon (DCD) and a few of mine. There is a comparison to msgpack here (and to other formats too): http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#appendix-E.2 which states: I suggest to look also at Cap'n Proto, its author was the author of the original google protobuf, and here [1] you can find some interesting insight about serialization protocols. I'm planning an implementation of cap'n proto for D... Good job, anyway! ;-P [1] http://kentonv.github.io/capnproto/news/ --- Paolo

I would caution against putting very much weight in Reddit opinions - there's people who will never use D and just look for excuses to justify their prejudice and there's people who think they want something, but don't really have any idea (this is common in feature requests, as I'm sure you know) That comment, in particular, seems very questionable to me. dstats at least compiles out of the box and has github activity within the last few months. It has a lot of templates, so maybe actually using it would reveal compilation problems, but at quick glance it seems to work. I know it's a tough call. But I do see these sorts of comments regularly, and it is a fact that there are too many D libraries gone to seed that won't compile anymore, and that makes us look bad. If that it's the problem, it's time to go ahead with an explicit support for the work done in dfix, no? It's not a silver bullet, but it's a clear indication to the potential adopters that there's a plan, and actively indicate that definitely we care about that particular issue, common to every language. --- /Paolo

Are the any pointers on how I can try it out? Like, is it in git master? Where can I find a documentation or an article about that? I got interested in the very same part. Take a look here [1] and here [2] You must use the current git master (Digger [3] can help you with an easy build of it). Note that some template mangling are still broken, and there are problems with the pass-by-ref, but, well, somehow it works! https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/test/runnable/cppa.d https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/test/runnable/extra-files/cppb.cpp https://github.com/CyberShadow/Digger --- /Paolo

Re: Mono-D 2.0 - XamarinStudio 5.0 support, completion improvements

And just as usual, I've just downloaded the bleeding-edge release candidate and made Mono-D run on it :P For the next couple of days, you'll only be able to get Mono-D from the repo I've mentioned in the release note, as XamarinStudio's online addin system isn't ready for the new major version yet. Furthermore, there have been some smaller changes improvements to the completion functionality again. There's also upcoming dustmite support where you'll be able to invoke dustmite from within Mono-D. http://mono-d.alexanderbothe.com/mono-d-2-0-for-xamarinstudio-5-0/ Hopefully, I can release the new XamarinStudio/MonoDevelop version on Linux as well. Someone mentioned an API freeze for the next couple of XS/MD versions, so chances are good that there's no hassle with broken Mono-D's for the next months. Enjoy! Hi Alex, Great Job! I'm not seeing any more the icons in the document outline pad: is it expected? Thanks, Paolo
